HGVC has lost me as an OS customer with their games since 2015.
I have way too many options in RCI, SFX and II to bother with this anymore.
I get an AC for pretty much anything I throw into II these days and a full week
at a comparable competitor suits me just fine over just 2 over priced OS nights.
I'm sorry to see the benefit go, but apparently they are not, so they can keep it.
I am sad to see it gone with the SW Florida properties but then again I can still
use my points in the club as I originally intended.
So goes the never ending game of developer devaluation of our products.
Apparently they could care less if they have cheer leaders or not.
I'll certainly share my disdain in the hot tub with anyone who will listen.
I just checked the website and I saw the 3 nights in a 1 BR at the Grand Islander in Honolulu for about $400. That certainly didn't seem like a very high rate. Like I stated before I believe it was an error in the website for that particular stay that was cited.
As far as being able to get an RCI, SFX and II stay for a full week; you can get those weeks where and when and how far out do you need to book them? I will offer the following example where Open Season can be very useful. Do to a pending snow storm that was coming to NYC in a few days, I wanted to change my flight to Honolulu this past winter to leave 2 days earlier. Therefore, I needed 2 extra nights in Honolulu to extend my stay there. Using Open Season I found 2 nights at the Grand Islander in a 1 BR for $140/night which worked out great since we don't get a car and didn't need an additional cab ride to get from the Grand Islander to the Lagoon Tower for the rest of our stay. With RCI, SFX or II you either can't do that or need a great deal of luck.
